Booked to camp next to traveling companion - for some reason they put a very small trailer between us and our companions. We had a good time and enjoyed the KOA park, the views were awesome and the on site lobsters were outstanding.

Next to the water. Beautiful sun sets. Friendly people.

Great setting and amenities. Water views from many sites. Small cafe with limited menu is nice if you don't want to drive somewhere for dinner. We will return.

Great front desk for check in and answering questions about the area. Knowledgeable about the tours tickets that are for sale in the office.

Nice Campground with a very helpful staff. We enjoyed the lobster dinner that was prepared there at the campground restaurant. We toured Acadia N.P. and took the shuttle bus ð from the campground to Bar Harbor. Nice not to have to drive. Nice stay.

I stayed for 5 nights and expected a certain KOA standard. I have booked ahead and when arrived i was given site 367. Site is minuscule and i had to remove the fire-ring in order to park my car. There were many empty sites but i was told I cannot switch. It was a total rip off. KOA shall look into how standards are kept. WIFI was a joke dropping signal all the time. more to say but limit is 400 ch

AT THIS CAMP SITE THE PADS WEREN'T LEVEL ENOUGH WHICH IS A PROBLEM WITH CLASS B'S- THE NEED PULL TRU SITES NEED REDESIGNED TO BE ON A ANGLE RATHER THAN AT THE 90 DEGREE'S TOO MANY CAMPERS COULDN'T SITE THE TRAILERS WITHOUT A LONG PROCESS BECAUSE OF THE 90 DEGREE TURNS

First time in a cabin. Been going there for many years in a motorhome. They make it easy to enjoy the stay,

The campground is located close enough to the Acadia National Park that travel to/from is easy. The campground is experiencing water supply issues. The information provided when checking in stated the laundromat was open 24/7. However, there was a sign posted on the laundromat that it was open from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. to conserve water. The water pressure was very low on a daily basis.

Nice campground with fabulous views and a very helpful and pleasant staff.

Staff was very friendly and check-in was quick! The campground was clean and quiet. The only small complaints were that the cabin was dusty (shelves and on top of the fridge). The box spring on the queen mattress was squeaky and very loud whenever one of us moved. Overall, we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Acadia!

We booked a three day weekend during September, with water views. It was really beautiful. The KOA staff were friendly and helpful. With KOA's Maine lobster bake each night, we didn't need to go out to enjoy a great meal. The campgrounds are close to Bar Harbor and a stones throw to Acadia National Park. We had a wonderful stay and would go back in a heart's beat.

Go for the ocean side site, it is worth it.

Thanks, for all the help you gave when my water was over flowing in my Airstream Vanð

It was amazing. Store awesome. Bathrooms and showers clean. Well done!

Sep 19, 2017

The campground was OK but did not offer any activities. It did not have a pool or a beach.

Sep 19, 2017

Million dollar oceans view. Enjoyed having the free shuttle service provided on Bar Harbor with a bus stop at this KOA. We will definitely make this a yearly reservation.

Our deluxe cabin 314 was spotless. It was absolutely awesome and more than we expected. towel service at a Campground was fabulous. The only thing I would say bad is the cabin was locked when we arrived late (we were told it would be open) Otherwise it was fabulous experience and I highly recommend this KOA. Reception staff were great too, helped with our hiking plans.

Very nice campground loved that you had the lobster dinners they where great! The island shuttle pick up was nice. Everyone was friendly and the view was wonderful. Wish we stayed longer. We will be back.

Great stay except fire pits are very close to other RV's. Our neighbor found it necessary to burn his fire pit every night with in 10 feet of our class A RV which continually made our RV smell like wood smoke. I would rate the campground a 10 without the fire pits.

Oceanfront campsite was outstanding! Sunset every night! Staff was friendly and accomodating. Lobsterpound inside the campground was great!

Sep 18, 2017

Absolutely Great. Great site. Wonderful people. Delicious lobster right in the campground.

Sep 18, 2017

Beautiful campground. Courteous staff. Not much privacy though...no trees in between many sites. Would definitely stay there again though!

Sep 18, 2017

The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Facilities we're very clean and welcoming. The views were outstanding and it was a great place to see a location without going broke

Sep 18, 2017

Sep 18, 2017

Great campground

Spent a week at Bar Harbor KOA and enjoyed lobster at all the local places, this park is right on the ocean and the people working here are better than most all parks we have visited. I recommend this KOA with the HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION, a park that you will truly enjoy. 5 Stars to the park and 5 stars to the KOA Staff.

Sep 18, 2017

The staff was very friendly and helpful and the facility was very clean. We will be back!

The weather was good, the people were nice, the cabin was clean, well stocked, and at night it was quiet so we could sleep for touring the next day. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Sep 18, 2017

First time at KOA and I was very pleased. The Bar Harbor location is right on a bay, my site was about 50 feet from the water. It was very quiet, which is a must for me. The only complaint I have is that my fire ring was located on the outer edge of my site in a very inconvienent place, so I didn't use it. However, it was the only site with a bad fire ring site, the rest were OK.

Sep 17, 2017

Positives: the location,location, location, the front desk staff, the fact some sites have been leveled, fire pits have been upgraded. Negatives: so many sites aren't level, sewage smell in certain areas, wifi is awful, bathrooms need an upgrade (some toilets flush well, others not), the flower beds aren't kept up. The fact you only allow 400 characters for this message and no response.

Sep 17, 2017

The staff is extremely friendly and very helpful with area information! The campground has pretty tight sites. and for the most part full. The view makes up for all of that! Wifi not the best. Was really never able to use it much, even for what it's meant for. Get a pull thru site or an ocean view spot if your lucky. The sunsets are amazing! The on site Lobster pound is very good and very handy!!!

Sep 17, 2017

Fantastic waterfront site. After hiking and biking, we loved relaxing by the water's edge. Enjoyed the sunsets!
